A catholic perspective on human rights

Abstract

The following is a transcript of the lecture titled "Human Rights – a Catholic Perspective" delivered on the 15th of October, 2004, by Ms. Cherie Booth. The event was organized by the European Law Student's Association (ELSA Malta), in collaboration with the British High Commission and International Law Department of the University of Malta, who we thank for their hard work and for the great interest they have shown in 'Id-Drift' over the years. Whilst giving special thanks to Ms. Booth for her unhesitant cooperation and support, I would like to remind you that the 'Id-Drift' Editorial Board was given special permission by her to publish this article and that she wishes the following not to be reproduced further and also, that she retains full copyright of all the material. The same applies for the other two papers in this section.
